Article #3 3 things I have learned from this article that I didn't already know are that zombie films have been around for 80 years or so. Also that the zombies represent too much technology and not enough humanity. That their was a zombie movie shot in a shopping mall.

2 opinions I have on the article are that the zombies movie are probably really difficult to shoot rather than other films. Also that I think zombies should be more human like because it makes it more realistic.

One question about the article is that why do they make the zombies more with technology than more human like?

Also that the characters have ranges of emotions. Brenda Chapman was the first responsible for creating a first ever female lead

2 opinions about the article hat I have are I understand how difficult it really is produce or create an animated film it is very difficult. Another opinion I have about the article is that the character should not always be based on there look it should be how they act in that movie.

One question I have about the article is why do they want to focus on the looks of the character than how they act or show their emotions in the film.
I have learned this week that premiere goes into very advanced techniques but it is very interesting and fun to work with. I plan on getting better at using it and to get all of my tutorials done as well.

What I want to learn in the future is how to get better at doing premiere and working with the more advanced things including the more advanced tutorials and things as well as getting used to use the video equipment as well.

I got frustrated at the premiere tutorials this week because I just wasn't understanding them as well as I should have but I think this upcoming week I will get better at them and get more advanced into premiere.

My other comments for this week are that I hope that I get better at knowing all of the video equipment for my documentary project coming up.
